One of my favorites was the Aurora Preferido Cameroon. Ran 10 packs for $40. Another was Trinidad Paradox. Was nailing boxes for $30. Anyone else missing the old selections? |

^ I have a few of the OR REOs from back in the day. You oughta let me send them to you. I would need an addy though ...

The original CAO Criollo was good. I had one left over when I started smoking again, and it aged well. |

Probably 10 years ago I tried a few different Toranos. None of them impressed me. Poorly rolled, stems etc….. How far back are you talking about? |

The Aurora Preferido Cameroon should still be available, I bought a 5er of it just a month or two ago. Although they are pretty pricey these days. Singles are 14$ on one of the sites. |

It’s quite recent, but…. The Sobremesa Short Torpedo.. Saka made it as a special release just for CI and this place.
He did the same with the Short Robusto, which he made/still makes? For the well known place, which is the parent of the other auction place. No more short torps here. The well known place still has short robs!!??
Come on Saka! Crank out some Short Torps for cbid again! |

I bought lots, but am down to 20 or so short torps. Had to switch over to the short rob from the other place, and have a decent stash of those, but still like the short torp more. I pretty much can’t afford buying the “regular” Sobremesa line, and glad I don’t need to. Every now and then the other place will sneak in a lot of 10 boxes of Mi Querida Short Gordos, which is when I buy those. |

Come on Saka! Crank out some Short Torps for cbid again! Although I tried a couple of different vitolas, I didn’t think much of the Sobremesa’s. They weren’t bad but for whatever reason, not good enough for me to want to chase. So even though you wrote glowingly about them, just never bought any. Probably should have at least tried a 5er. Oh well…. |

But, iirc, I had a bunch of AF 8-5-8 Maddies, probably close to 3, mebbe four boxes so didn’t feel I needed more of a similar smoke. Now, of course, I could kick myself for not getting at least a couple of boxes of the Cupidos. |

I’m a huge fan of both the Sobremesa and the Mi Querida lines. The Brulee didn’t do much for me. Pretty sure I will like the Red Meat Lover as well, once I get my hands on some. Given that I like Papas Fritas and LP No.9 Coronets, I think I need to get a hold of Saka’s Polpetta offering soon. |

The Sobremesa left me cold too. Really well made and a good smoke but nothing that really grabbed me. I do like some of the Torano offerings… never ran into any issues with them but different strokes and all that |

From what I've gathered over the last year LFD is doing away with the chisel shape. I've been buying all the boxes I find. Now it's down to the five pack chisel assortments and I'm tire of buying them. If you're a fan of the shape then buy what you can from local B&Ms because once they're gone that's it. |
